Never Let Go
One touch is all it takes.
Directed by Alexandre Aja
Produced by 21 Laps Entertainment, Media Capital Technologies
A claustrophobic supernatural horror centered on a mother's desperate protection of her sons against a shapeshifting evil, built on paranoia and the fragility of familial bonds.
As an evil takes over the world beyond their front doorstep, the only protection for a mother and her twin sons is their house and their family’s protective bond.
